  No, the way this works is:  You get the TDI and spend most of the riding
season installing it and getting it to run correctly and then you won't have
time to ride any 404s nor need to know how many watts your legs put
out....they will have withered away while you spent the summer under your
vanagon with the wifey's new turbo .....
  Then next season you'll be too busy going to antique shows or VW campouts
to need any good cycle gear..
   (actually a vanagon makes the BEST bicycle vehicle of all..)
